It all started with a tweet from the Sheriff of Butler County, Ohio, and it seemed like a simple enough idea. How about free concealed carry classes for teachers in public schools?
I am going to offer free concealed and Carry class free 2 teachers in butler county. Limited number. Details coming soon on line. Also training on school shootings.

Gun control advocates probably view this as being rather tasteless in the wake of the Florida school shooting, but really… when would the correct time be? If the resources don’t exist to put armed security guards in all the schools, something needs to be done. But the question is, would teachers want to go for it? As reported by the local Fox News outlet, the demand for such classes may quickly outstrip the supply.
Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said in a tweet Sunday training will be free.
Interest is so high, 250 teachers signed up in less than 24 hours, he said early Tuesday. “We have 250 and growing fast. We will start training fast, next week,” he said.
